Descrição
The kensei, or sword-saint, is a living master of the sword whose preternatural skills are hailed throughout the Empire. While kenshinzen duelists epitomize the highest level of iaidō, the sword-saint embodies the purest form of kenjutsu, or swordsmanship more broadly. To witness a single strike of a kensei is to experience a moment of spiritual clarity—their bond with their blade is considered sacred. A true sword-saint might come along once per generation, and past precedent maintains that only one person may bear the title at a given time. Students of the Heart of the Katana dōjō in Lion lands devote their lives to the sword with the hope of one day being anointed as a sword-saint.
